A new lesser-known feature in SiteCatalyst is called “Current Data”.
This allows users of SiteCatalyst version15 to see almost real-time data on traffic reports (props), and about a 20 min delay on conversion data (eVars).

For many companies that have been waiting to upgrade to SC15 until improvements in data processing were rolled out, that day has come.

Access is not available to everyone, you must be added to the Current Data User Group in the Admin.

Now, you are looking to make a clean report that shows how each of the ski resort guides are performing. Knowing that you can use the search box, you do a search for “guide” like this.

Unfortunately, as seen above, this search pulls in an unwanted line item. You are not interested in the photo guides for this report. You just want the resort guides.

What do you next?

If you are like me, you try typing in guide with a pipe. Unfortunately that doesn’t work, you still get the unwanted photo guide.

Next, you try going to the Advanced Search option forcing the string with quotes, like this.
No luck there either. When you run the report the search box oddly enough, changes to this:
And you still get your unwanted line item.

Finally, you try typing “guide |” directly into to the search bar, and BAM! You get what you were looking for.
